LETTER-SHEET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 15, `1911.

Application -led May 21, 1 908. Serial No. 434,105

eliminating the need of any separateI envelop or the addition of any separate writing of the sendees name upon the outside of the sheet after it is folded.

@ne of the primary objects of this invention is the provision of a letter sheet of this character which will be easily folded, and which will not require more pape/r than the usual sir-e of letter sheets, and in which the arrangement of the matter upon the sheet and of the sendees name as well as the signature, and of the folds employed in folding the sheet, will be substantially the same as is ordinarily used, and noty require special Vtacility or any special arrangement with a diagram of instructions indicatinghow the sheet should be folded.

The above, as well as such other objects.

as may hereinafter appear, I yattain by means of the construction which I have illustrated in the accolnpanying drawings, wherein- Figure l indicates a letter sheet made in accordance witbmy immovement, with theI provide a sheet similar to that shown in Figs. l -and 9., which has a place indicated at 5, for the location of the sendees name and address which occur in the custon'iary form, and below which, as indicated at G, is the mam or body portion of the letter or` circular. lVithin the body portion ot' the letter,` as indicated by the line 7. l arrange a slit forming a flap 8 which when folded back upon the line 9 will expose the sendees name when the upper part of the letter sheet 10 is foided downward along the line 1l. The position of the tia p 8 before the part 10 is folded on the line l1. is indicated in Fig. i). in which as will clearly appear there is an vopening 8*1 which comes in exactly the right location to expose the sendees name (which is almost immediately abovesaid opening),

as indicated in Fig. 3, when the sheet is entirely folded, the portion of the sheet marked 12 being the/last to be folded over.

In order to secure the sheet I can use a paster similar to lthat indicated at 13, or

any other convenient means for holding the parts together. Y

Having thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what I claim as new and desire to securev by Letters Patent, is the following:

,f A letter sheet having a transverse line of ./folding dividing the sheet into ,upper and ,flower portions. the portions being provided respectively with a 'sl'.ace t'or the ,sende "s name and address and an exl'iosure opening in opposition longitudinally ol the sheet, and at substantially' equal distances from the line of. folding, and a llap for closing the opening adapted when closed to receive a portion of the matter imprinted on the sheet.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto signeduny naine in the "presence ot lhetwo subscribing witnesses.
